Description

An exquisite collection of jazz miniatures for the beginner pianist that introduces the player to a range of keys, rhythms and performance techniques. Composed especially for the grade 0-1 pianist, these tiny moments of cool are designed to delight both player and audience alike. This is the first book in a brand new series by Elissa Milne. There are five books in all, each filled with fun jazz pieces that can be used both as pedagogical studies and as repertoire pieces. The pieces have been written with the young pianist in mind, avoiding leaps that are difficult for small hands and incorporating suitably short and light-hearted pieces. Technique is developed alongside musicality, helping young players to move towards grade exams and the other books in the series.

Good Points+

The pieces are all so musical - which is something often lacking from other material for beginners. I love the way a theme is developed with new dynamics and phrasing, which really emphasises their role in creating the style of a piece. I have started a post-Grade 1 pupil on Very Easy Little Peppers and they are finding the pieces exciting and fun, even though the first few are not particularly difficult .

Bad Points−

Maybe a touch more expensive than many books with a similar number of pieces in them. However, the quality is so superior I can happily justify the extra to parents.

Musicroom Reviews

I have only recently discovered Elissa Milne - her music really captures the imagination of young students. Highly recommended. There are some great videos on Youtube of her songs. Do check them out and then get one of the Little Peppers book based on your level of playing.See more reviews byhttp://www.se22piano.co.uk - (East Dulwich, United Kingdom)
